Immortal paintings by Picasso
Our world is sometimes blessed by the legacy left by artists who weave magic with their talents. Picasso’s paintings are a reflection of the magic that Pablo Picasso wove in his time. Picasso, a Spanish painter and sculptor who left his indelible mark in the 20th century, continues to survive in the hearts and minds of countless artists through his paintings.
The treasure of Picasso’s paintings
Picasso’s paintings display a soul of their own and are famous for their realistic appearance. They have been placed in different periods of his pictorial career, namely the Blue, Pink and Cubist periods. These paintings show the immense talent of Picasso and his courage as a painter who experiments with different techniques and ideas.
Picasso loved to paint still life, musical instruments, and friends. He went beyond the rules of academics, exploring the art of painting in his own way. His paintings often broke the cliches of tradition and stood tall and proud displaying a uniqueness of their own. Some notable paintings by Picasso include The Two Mounts (Harlequin and His Companion, 1901), Gertude Stein (1906), Les Demoiselles d ‘Avignon (1907), Guernica (1937), and The Weeping Woman (1937).
Picasso’s ‘Guernica’ deserves a special mention, as this painting is considered a powerful statement in politics. Representing the suffering and tragedy induced by war, this work is truly monumental and a combination of two styles, epic and pastoral.
Picasso’s paintings of the Blue period are believed to have arisen from his state of mind after the death of his friend Casamegas and express a state of melancholy. These paintings are characterized by their monochromatic and cold effects, the coldness highlighted by the clever use of the color blue. ‘La Vie’, ‘Evocation’, his ‘Self-portrait’ are the names of some paintings from this period.
Paintings such as ‘Garcon a la Pipe’, ‘Woman with a Raven’, ‘Acrobat with Young Harelequin’ and ‘Girl in a Shirt’ are from Picasso’s Rose period and often feature local people and characters from the entertainment industry. In contrast to the depressing Blue period, the paintings of the Rose period gave rise to a typical ‘Picasso’ style and were optimistic in their mood.
Paintings such as the ‘Three Musicians’ and the ‘Guitar’ marked the Cuban period of Picasso’s art. The paintings represent a transition of forms, from the natural to the geometric and angular. The multi-view figures also mainly took shape in muted colors and redefined Picasso’s paintings.
It has been shown, time and again, throughout the artistic community around the world and beyond that, that there was something special about Picasso’s paintings. His paintings speak for themselves and come to life in more ways than one. They turn out to be a kind of status symbol and are a prized possession anywhere and anytime.
Picasso’s paintings were never amateurish. His art developed gradually, in phases, enlightened and strengthened by experience and genuine talent. His expression of raw emotions took her breath away and left everyone wanting more.
Pablo Picasso himself said: “Should we paint what is on the face, what is inside the face or what is behind it?” His paintings redefined every face and ultimately contributed immensely to the face of the pictorial fraternity. Let’s toast to all the Picasso paintings that continue to fascinate and fascinate us.
